Subject: [jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1155) Etag send by list function does
 not depend on userCtx

Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1155:
----------------------------------------

It's certainly the case that the ETag currently includes only the users roles.

It should be an easy fix to allow any returned ETag in a "headers" entry to override what we send.

>             Project: CouchDB
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HTTP Interface
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.2
>            Reporter: Johannes J. Schmidt

> List functions should send a different Etag when requested by different users.
> The following curl session shows identical Etags for different users. CouchDB must not be in admin party mode.
> PROTOCOL=http
> DOMAIN="127.0.0.1:5984"
> DB=testdb
> # admin credentials for db creation
> ADMIN=admin:secure
> # this user must have an empty roles array
> USER=user:secure
> curl -XDELETE $PROTOCOL://$ADMIN@$DOMAIN/$DB
> curl -XPUT $PROTOCOL://$ADMIN@$DOMAIN/$DB
> curl -XPUT $PROTOCOL://$ADMIN@$DOMAIN/$DB/foo -d '{"count":1}'
> curl -XPUT $PROTOCOL://$ADMIN@$DOMAIN/$DB/_design/foo -d '{ "views": { "bar": { "map": "function(doc) { emit(doc._id, null); }" } }, "lists": { "bar": "function(head, req) { return req.userCtx.name || \"anonymous\" }" }}'
> curl -s $PROTOCOL://$DOMAIN/$DB/_design/foo/_list/bar/bar --head | grep Etag
> curl -s $PROTOCOL://$USER@$DOMAIN/$DB/_design/foo/_list/bar/bar --head | grep Etag
> #=> Etag: "A1NKHA0935KMCSHFSK94EHZNL"
> #=> Etag: "A1NKHA0935KMCSHFSK94EHZNL"
> This issue is important for standalone CouchDB applications which use list functions depending on the user context, eg. showing a login button or username.

> PS: I tried to write a javascript test case but this issue can only be reproduced if the server is not in admin party mode, which the test suite requires. I am not so familar with those tests to temporarily change the admin party.
